Smart homes are a strong match for the characteristics of product-service systems (PSSs), but practitioners lack the knowledge necessary to approach their designs from a systemic perspective. Positing that smart home appliances (SHAs) are the building blocks of smart homes as competitive PSSs, we investigate the attributes of SHAs as design element...
The status of Smart Home Appliances (SHAs) in the smart home industry has been raised as major components of a smart home. To design a good SHA, diverse stakeholders in the smart home ecosystem need to have a common understanding of smart homes and SHAs. However, the studies on what they are, especially those reflecting practitioners’ point of view...
Over the last two decades, for-profit and non-for-profit organizations have increasingly
adopted open collaboration, such as open innovation and crowdsourcing, as a strategy for
innovation. Information and communication technology (ICT) has played a major role in
forming open collaboration communities, but organizational design also needs to be con...
This study was motivated by the lack of design knowledge in the area of systems design for collaborative services. It introduces a framework for developing service design goals and strategies to foster collaboration within a community, starting from an understanding of its collaboration network. Network analysis and an interview are used to underst...
This poster is the summary of the work-in-progress paper presented in GROUP ’16 conference.
This study was motivated by the finding that there is a lack of design knowledge in the area of systems design of collaborative services. This study introduces a framework for developing service design strategies to foster collaborative communities and support social innovation. Based on the sociotechnical systems design, the framework allows desig...
Industrial design practice is characterised by the use of design representations as embodiments of design intentions. From the ubiquitous sketch through to high fidelity prototypes, the designer employs a variety of representations to externalise and develop solutions to often ill-defined design problems. Reflecting their importance to design activ...
This paper is about a teaching system for a multi-fingered robot hand using kinetic information of a manipulated object with vision feedback. The proposal of this system is to operate a multi-fingered robot hand with high DOF intuitively and effectively. The system calculates a appropriate trajectory according to the kinetic information of the mani...
This paper proposes a teaching system for multi-fingered robot hands by using kinetic information of target objects with visual feedback. The purpose of this system is to operate multi-fingered robot hands with high DOF mechanisms intuitively and effectively. The system calculates the appropriate trajectory of the fingers according to the kinetic i...
This paper is about a teaching system for multi-fingered robot hands using kinetic information of a manipulated object with feedback control. The purpose of this system is to operate multi-fingered robot hands with high DOF intuitively and effectively. The system calculates the appropriate trajectory according to the kinetic information of the mani...
This paper proposes a teaching system for multi-fingered robot hand using kinetic information of a manipulated object under rolling contact in order to achieve the desired movement of a manipulated object easily and accurately. According to the kinetic information of manipulated object which was obtained by haptic device, the teaching system sets t...

I am exploring platform design methodologies.
Since the term "platform" has diverse meaning and is being used in diverse areas, the focus of platform design methodologies also seems to vary.
From the business perspective,
- Platform design toolkit (http://platformdesigntoolkit.com/toolkit/)
- Platform revolution (although this book seems to introduce the key components and key functions rather than suggesting a step-by-step platform design method)
Meanwhile, from the software development perspective,
- waterfall model
- V-model
- Agile software development
have been found.
I wonder if there are other platform design methods which can be used in developing a platform to facilitate the participation and collaboration of people in open innovation or crowdsourcing projects.
I am working on my research about collaboration platform development for social innovation.
The question was initiated from the exploration on open innovation or crowdsourcing approach for social innovation.
According to literature review, organizational context should be considered in developing information systems for distributed innovation, and organizational design researchers are also introducing the new organization design architectures for open innovation.
In this context, my interest in "the role of designers in social innovation" was extended to "the role of designers in organization design for open innovation."
I have found some articles which claim the significance of design thinking or design approach in management, but most of them are from management field. They usually imply that "managers need to adopt the advantages of design thinking or design approach" rather than "designers should contribute to organization design in their own unique way." I would like to find some evidence to support my research direction.
How could designers contribute to organization design?
As many organizations are taking open innovation or crowdsourcing as their new strategies, their organization design also need to be adjusted to support their strategic changes. As I understood, such self-organizing organizations should be designed by different approach from the traditional organization design. That is, the activities of members should be encouraged by designing the protocols and environment of organizations rather than directly controlled in a hierarchical structure. When the members are perceived as the user of protocols and working environment of an organization, it can be inferred that the participatory design can contribute to improving organizational design.
In this context, I wonder if there are any previous studies on organizational design methods or tools to support the participation of organization members in designing their own organizations. If not, would the attempts to develop such organization design methodologies be necessary or helpful for improving the performance of organizations undertaking open innovation or crowdsourcing?
